Onakoya Afeez

Afeez Onakoya is a Lagos-based painter whose works reflect his passion for the human form. 

Onakoya channels his experience and understanding of life into his work using charcoal and acrylic. This body of work reflects his interest in the intrinsic value of human life and the universal quest for self-improvement. In his art, charcoal transcends its conventional boundaries to become a vessel of expression. Each stroke and smudge across his canvas tells a story of the human condition, a narrative of our collective struggle, and an exploration of our shared aspirations. Onakoya's art explores the human spirit, a visual poetry that seeks to define the essence of existence.
